We got a call from Kids Wish Network 216-350-8835 and you can request to be removed from their calling list if you call them. They get a poor score for charities (28.59) as opposed to Make A Wish (92.35). I don't plan to give them anything. Only 2.5% of what they collect goes to cash assistance. The rest is operating expenses and fat salaries. Shame on them.
Every year, Kids Wish Network raises millions of dollars in donations in the name of dying children and their families. Every year, it squanders almost every penny.
The money gets diverted to enrich the charity’s operators and the for-profit companies Kids Wish hires to drum up donations. Sick children wind up with less than3 cents of every dollar raised. That has been the formula for 16 years, ever since Kids Wish mimicked the respected Make-A-Wish Foundation and launched its relentless drive for money. In the past decade alone, Kids Wish has channeled nearly $110 million donated for sick children to its corporate fundraisers. That makes it the worst charity in the nation, according to a Times/CIR review of charities that have steered the most money to professional solicitation companies over time.
